							      RandomMonkey is an account created with picks made at random using random number genereator code. Statistically this user should get around 50% or half of the picks correct. This is a fun way to compare your score and your strategy to just randomly guessing the winner of a game.</td>

										<P><span style="color: #001a79; font-weight: bold;">Can I join the pool after the season has started ?</span><br/> 
										  Of course, and please do. We would love to have you play. Users who sign up after the season has started always have the possibility of catching users who have made picks since the begining. But if several weeks have gone by before you join, you can still play and have a goal in mind, percentage. A user can be high in the standings in percentage and still be several points behind in overall score, just make your pick wisely <img src='http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0011.gif' alt='Smilies' border='0'>. </P>								  </td>

								<tr>
									<td>
										<P><span style="color: #001a79; font-weight: bold;">Do I have to "Weigh" my picks?</span><br/>
										NO. The idea of weighted picks is an OPTION. This OPTION just adds another twist to the pool, and gives a user a different goal. If a user is several points (6 or 7) behind with only a week to go, it's pretty hard to overcome that deficit in the straight up scoring because most users will have very similar picks. But with weighted picks you may have made the same pick as another user, but you weighed that pick much higher. So if that team wins you gained a few points in weighted score. </P>
